180cm drop roman blinds

does anywhere do them? i can't find any and it's simply not worth paying to get some made. Damn you big terraced house windows.

Hi

Bit of a contradiction ?

How much would you pay ? £100 ?£200?

Well yes and no. I can pick up "normal" 160cm length roman blinds for £20-30 each but it's when you start getting them made that they cost £100 each. I don't really want anything expensive or that much more than what I would be able to pick up the standard length for.

Hi

If you can get them for £100 each you'd be doing well. Try Ikea wood slat blinds and cut them down to suit. It's a tedious process as you have to cut both sides to make it even. IIRC you can cut something like 3 -4cms off each side.
They are not very robust so don't expect then to last too long or take much abuse. You get what you pay for.

Could you add a 20cm border of contrasting/co-ordinating fabric to the bottom of the Ikea ones?

I wish I could, but the actual window is 180cm. Actually, I see what you mean, hmm, possibly.

I just don't want to abandon the idea of roman blinds when you can get 160cm drop ones for £20-30 each.

They are quite easy to make yourself.I have made some for my kitchen and
bathroom and made one for my daughters house also.

If you fancy trying to make them follow this link http://www.hutchal.clara.net/curtains/roman.htm


Once you`ve made some you`ll be amazed how easy they are and of course
you can choose your own fabric.
